Jurrell Casey has been an impact player for the Tennessee Titans at defensive end for years now.
But he’s got more planned for the 2020 Pro Bowl.
Apparently, Casey doesn’t want to end the showcase game without recording a carry at running back.
The five-time Pro Bowler asked AFC coach John Harbaugh for a position swap, according to the Associated Press’ Mark Long.
“I used to play a little running back,” Casey said. “He said he’s going to try, but he doesn’t’ want to mess up the system too much. I’m going to keep on trying to feed him all week. They’ve got to let me touch the ball at least once.”
On a team like Tennessee’s, Casey probably doesn’t stand a chance at this wish ever coming true during a game.
Those duties belong to former Alabama rusher Derrick Henry, who finished out the season with the NFL’s rushing title, recording 1,540 yards on the ground during the regular season.
But an event like the Pro Bowl, there’s not a whole lot to lose and it could be fun to watch Casey try something a little different.
After all, Henry is in his first-ever Pro Bowl and could probably point him in the right direction.
